Three companies are working on the vehicle that will return Americans to the lunar surface, SpaceX, Dynetics and a team led by Blue Origin. The companies that receive funding later in April will continue to develop an HLS in a project that is similar to the successful Commercial Crew program. The lunar landers will be owned and operated by the companies developing them, just as the Crewed Dragon is owned and operated by SpaceX and the upcoming Starliner by Boeing.
Johnson, who currently chairs the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, believes that the commercial approach is not the way to go. She maintains that NASA should “own” the future HLS, much as it did the Lunar Module during the Apollo program. Why does Johnson believe this?
January 1, 2021 Dated Predictions
Predictions Scorecard, 2021 January 01
On January 1
st, 2018, I made predictions about self driving cars, Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, and about progress in the space industry. Those predictions had dates attached to them for 32 years up through January 1
st, 2050.
I made my predictions because at the time I saw an immense amount of hype about these three topics, and the general press and public drawing conclusions about all sorts of things they feared (e.g., truck driving jobs about to disappear, all manual labor of humans about to disappear) or desired (e.g., safe roads about to come into existence, a safe haven for humans on Mars about to start developing) being imminent. My predictions, with dates attached to them, were meant to slow down those expectations, and inject some reality into what I saw as irrational exuberance.
